Assalamu'alaikum wbt and hello everyone. 

Yes, as you can see from the title above, this is the last week so no more class from any subjects. This is the really LAST! Hmm.. Come to think about it, time flew really quick. It feels like it just yesterday I came to UKM. Yes, time flew fast! Really fast.

So, for today, me and my group supposed to do a presentations regarding our research. But, Dr. Fariza had something came up so the presentations were being cancelled. Urm.. Actually, it was not being cancelled, but we had to do it online by recording our presentations using present.me. So, we are having fun using it. We have to do it right away because that night, I have to go back to my mom's village because my cousin had married, so the ceremony was held in Saturday. Also, Veen had to go back to Penang. Lyn too, planned to go home. So, there left only si Becca. Haha. Pity her.

At our first attempt using present.me, we laughed so hard because we feel funny when using it. Kikiki.

Our first attempt using present.me.

Semangat akuuhh ambil gambaq. Haha..
So these are the pictures I've taken secretly but not so secret. Haha. So, finally, after all the laughter, we done making our video. Huhu. So, today I learned how to use present.me even though all of us are so ambitious to wear baju kurung and present in front of our class. But it's okay. We lose something, we gain something else.

So, once again, this is the last week we are having our Computer in Education class. Seriously, I don't mind even I failed and have to repeat this class because I enjoyed myself doing online things in this class. Also, Dr. Fariza is very nice.

This is T1 group during night class. So jealous of them, because they got to take picture with Dr. Fariza and having to do their presentations normally. Us?? Hmm.. :( Seriously so jealous of them.
Yes, she is nice. Huhu. Ore ganu kito. Huhu. Gonna miss this class very very much. Huhuhu... :')

Ok, stop sobbing. Final exam is around the corner. Hope to do well in exams. I wish all of my friends good luck! 

Smile~ :D Salam~

in excel we trust

Loading to Microsoft Excel....
Assalamu'alaikum wbt and hello everyone. It is rainy today. I wish I could sleep but it is okay. Just wondering, how the condition of my hometown. Because recently, there were tons of news about flood in Kuala Terengganu. So I am a bit worried. But luckily, my mom said that, my village did not experience the effect. AlhamduliLlah.

So, today as usual, I attended to Prof Amin's class. So there, we learnt about new things on ways to teach language. We were asked to create our LLSI presentation on Blendspace. Haha. Becca and I shared the same video on our Blendspace presentation where the video is so hilarious about a French man learns English. Haha. Memang lawak! All of our classmates laughed so hard that time. Even Prof Amin laughed when he watched it.

Haha. Ok back to CE class. Today we learned about Excel. How many teachers today do not know about the convenience prepared by the Microsoft in Excel. By using Excel, teachers do not have to calculate students' grades manually. Just set the formula and click on the students' names and done! The simplest way to calculate students' grades. WOW!! Surely technologies have wonders!

And Dr. Fariza asked us to pretend we are teachers and create our students' name list and calculate their marks using Excel. Haha. Then we have to do graphs about our calculations just now. I have problems with this because I hate graphs actually. Hmm..

But it's okay, I will get into it soon. I will. :)

Spongebob! It's supposed to move by twinkling his eyes. Hergh. Haha.
Assalamu'alaikum wbt and hello everyone.

Today I'm in a good mood and happy-happy. But, I don't know why, I overslept last night. In result, I got to the class late. But, my lecturer is not there yet. Even Becca is also late to class, but still, she can catch up and Dr. Fariza still not in class. Becca said that she had to walked down the Za'ba hill (one of the hill that I don't like the most, other than that is Fpend hill) to get the 3U Bus. Haha. pity her. She come to class with her exhausted face.

So, for today's class. Dr. Fariza consult and guide us about the report that we have to submit in week fourteenth. She said that our group report is good (Special thanks to Lyn, Becca and Veen!! Love you guys), but need to add-on some points on ways to enhance the knowledge of Open Source Software among students.

And she continue guiding from one group to another group. Actually, I like her teaching method, she showed the ways to do the report and guide us. She's also friendly with us. Frankly speak, among the classes I have attended, her class is the most comfortable class for me. I don't know whether it is because she is also Teregganurian or what. But really, I am comfortable with her.
*p/s: I don't write this to get good marks. This is my personal view.

She also taught us about the data we collected in our report. How to calculate mean and appendix. She also mentioned about the scale written by her on the whiteboard. Actually, at this point, I don't really get it. Maybe because I don't give full attention at this part. Never mind. Later I'll consult with my friends.

Hehe. While I wrote this, suddenly, she packed her things up and leave the class. She said that she has to do something. Urgent maybe. So, I continued listening to Westlife songs. It made my day. Wohooo...

Cute, right? Hehe. That is me and eheemm... (I don't know who is he.) Haha.
Assalamu’alaikum wbt and hello everyone.

Assignments are overload! And time flew so fast! As for my laziness, it is not getting less. It’s getting more and more. Seriously, I am a lazy girl! I need to change that! For the sake of my life.

Haaahh. The class is held as usual. Huhu. But this time just like the past two weeks, it was held in Monday at 3.30 pm. And also this time, both two groups were asked to combine in one class session because our beloved Dr. Fariza has to attend a meeting at 11.00 am. So the first group has to conduct a class the same time as the second group. Haha. More people, the merrier.  Hehe. Today’s class is also special because it’s raining heavily. So it feels cold! And we were freezing that time in the laboratory. Haha.

Okay, back to business. Always with the business. Haha. Of course laa. Ok, today, Dr. Fariza told us to do a video regarding the topic we searched. To do the video, she taught us to make a perfect video. So a video must contain five elements. These elements are AUDIO, ANIMATION (moving image), TEXT, GRAPHIC, and VIDEO itself.

So, she gave us about 10 minutes and over to do search the information about these elements and paste the link of article to GE1155’s Weebly. The findings may be in form of articles, videos, slide, a talk or what so ever. I am so excited about this. This is a simple task for me.

I searched it and I am the first one who posted information about this topic at Weebly. So, it’s like it was me who started the topic. Hehe.  Excited bha. Hehe. Credits to me~

Ermm… Then, I have a short conversation with Dr. Fariza about my study. She is so concern not only with me but with all her students. She asked me whether I am okay or not with my studies. I think she knew that I am having a little, ermm, not little, but big problems with this course. So, when she asked me that, I felt a little bit relieved because at least I knew that there is someone out there who is concern about my well-being. I am so touched! Thank you Dr. Fariza. Love you. By the way, I never told you this. Your face is like my sister in-law. The first time I saw you in our first meeting, I thought you were my sister in-law. Haha. Whenever I recalled that moment, I laughed alone. Haha.

I think this is all for today’s class. Hehe. Ok, assalamu’alaikum wbt. Good day peeps! 
:) :) :) :) :)

dumbfounded by the technology

Assalamu’alaikum wbt and hello everyone.

Another day, another nickel. That’s what Spongebob Squarepants said. And also another day, another new things to explore. Hehe. So, I woke up early today not just because I have morning classes but I feel very extra energetic today. Yeah right. I hope it will last for the whole day. Hope so.

As usual, I have Language Learning Strategies at 8 and today’s class in full of discussions and bilabial connection between our beloved Prof Amin and my friends. It’s quite interesting actually that you don’t have to fully listen to lecturers to babble and babble. I am a person who love discussions and forums but not the one who active in it. I just love for just being a silent listener. A saying said that, we have two ears and a mouth. Listen more and talk less. Hehe.

And also yesterday, November 16th was my birthday and I received a great birthday experience by my friends and I’m very delightful about it. Seriously, nobody throw flour at my birthday before and what they have done is so funny and so sweet and made my day. Hehe.

Ok, back to our business. After finishing LLS class, my friends and I decided to go back to Za’ba because our group for Computer class is at 3 pm so we got plenty of time to relax and maybe do our assignments. But I knew that my friends had planned to sleep. Hehe. So do I. I need some rest ok. Lazy bumps.

Ok, today’s computer class as usual, I learnt new things and we called it wonders in technology. This is because we got so dumbfounded and amazed when we discover new things from our computer. Magic! Poof! Haha. It is obvious that we are not good in using technology. There are too many we didn’t explore yet.  I hope we get it soon in this class.

To be honest, at first I found this class’s so boring and just a waste of time. But, time has changed it. Every moment of this class, I learnt new things, new tools in our computer from our lecturer, Dr. Fariza. And for today I learnt about how to evaluate and calculate our findings on previous lesson about Open Source Software. As you may know, we have conduct a survey using Google form and by that we don’t have to calculate our data manually as Google Form has prepared the calculation for users. So simple and way too cool.

Other than that, we learnt how to do analysis about our data collection. There are two ways to do analysis and that are descriptive analysis (demography) and inferentiate statistics (mean). Ok, on this part, I don’t really understand much. Sorry.

Then, we learnt how to do a table of content using a simple way! We just discovered it! Why right now? Ah, better late than never. Using navigation pane, we just put what are the topics we include in our report and automatically, the software in the Microsoft Word will do the rest! We can edit it also in a simpler way. We don’t have to scroll down or up our report on MW many times. That’s the magic I’m talking about. We got stunned and really don’t expect this from our computer!

Ah, I got so excited writing this. Really I am. Allah SWT gave me such knowledge to make my work simpler. I’m so touched. AlhamduliLlah. I’m thankful and grateful to Him.

And I wanted to tell this to my readers (if I got readers, Haha) that I really enjoy learning in this class although I got tired sometimes because I love to sleep every afternoon after ‘Asr. But it’s okay. Allah has granted me with another kindness in term of knowledge. So I still look forward to Dr. Fariza’s class. :)

Smile. Thank you. :)

all about the computer class

This is the front page of Windows Publisher ^_^
    Assalamu’alaikum wbt and hello everyone. Today I’m in a good and blissful mood. It is because today, I’m going to receive a present from Prof Amin (Language Learning Strategy) for my slide presentation. So I’m excited despite I got many assignments waiting for me. Hehe. Try to enjoy with that. As for my present, I got a book written by Prof Amin. It’s about Web 2.0. Although it is not in my favourite book list, I am very happy for that. Really, thanks to you, dear Prof Amin.

    Actually, after his class, I have no class and got to relax and unwind my tension. For some reason and circumstances, Dr Fariza, our Computer in Education professor, have to make a substitution class on Monday. We were not having a problem with that honestly, instead we were happy because we can relax and we got to spend our time on our assignments. Err.. I think that’s not relaxing at all. We have to complete our assignments because it’s already week nine and all our assignments we have to submit them on week 14. So still remain 5 weeks more until we submit our assignments. Lucky for Lyn, she has completed her first big assignment on Teaching Profession. So she can move on to the next assignments. I need to learn from her. Seriously meh. T____T

    There is something new from our Computer in Education class today. Something that, for me it is very meaningful and awake me from my long sleep, also change my perception. In what? Hehe. Stay on to this Ok?

    Ok, as usual, our lesson on that Monday is about, Microsoft Publisher. What is Microsoft Publisher? I can’t find the right meaning of it. But what can I explain is that to make our own business card, brochure, greeting cards, banners, postcards, newsletters, flyers and catalogues we can use Microsoft Publisher to do it so. These are one of the applications offered by Microsoft. Free ok. Hehe. So, we were asked to create a brochure of ours about our findings. My group’s topic is about Open Source Software and ICT in Learning.

    At first we got so excited to know that this kind of application exists in our own laptop! Yes, for me I am excited. Huhu. And I believe my friends also feel the same way as I am. So after finding out the application, we try to make our own brochure while Dr. Fariza asked anyone who have the problems with their questionnaires. We have to do it in Google Form.

    My group try to make a brochure but then the themes prepared in the app are so not up-to-date and for us the themes are not pretty and attracting. So we decided to create our own brochure later when we have downloaded new beautiful themes. Excited really!

    Ok, this is the serious part. Dr. Fariza reminded us about the reflections. She said that she has checked our reflections but she is very disappointed with us because some of us haven’t complete reflections in our Weebly yet. She said that we have to do reflections every week so that in the end, when the final exams are announced and we got low marks, the reflections will help us to get extra marks. Maybe we got B or C in final exam, but with the help of our reflections that we have done, lecturers will consider in giving extra to our marks to make it an A. It’s very helping. So she reminded us to always to reflections.

    And, she said that, we have to change our paradigm and perception about the word ‘NO CLASS’. Actually, a few weeks before, we got no class because she had to attend for a seminar in Japan and another week, something came up and she had to settle it. So the thing is, the class is not cancel, although she was not around and we should to go to the class because she hope that we learn something from that day although she is not with us in the class.

Smile, thank you. :)

shaky presentations

Assalamu'alaikum and hello everyone.

Today is the day. Hmm.. My hands start shaky. Aigoo. I am not so good in presenting or lecturing in front of class. Yet, I am a teacher-to-be. Hmm. I don't have the confidence. Furthermore, my English is bad and not that smooth. Hmm. How laa...

Then I like, arghh, just do it. No big deal, insyaAllah. Hmm. Luckily I got my friends who are always at my back supporting me. Hehe. So, it's kinda relief then.

Ermm... Then, I just go with the flow. Presenting, although I know no one of my friends understand what I'm saying that time. Hmm.. Sad for a teacher-to-be. I need to polish my speaking and general speaking. I have to. So that I won't be that shaky girl anymore. InsyaAllah.

Ok, I am so proud of having friends who are very good in presenting their work. I am so amazed with Lyn, Becca and Veen's works. Not forgot, credits to Fatin Kamilia and Natasya. These people are too good bha. Opps, Sabahan. Haha. But seriously they are good!

I hope to learn something from them and make them as an example in my student life. Hehe. Hope so laa. Hehe.

Allahumma Rabbi Yasseer wala Tu'asseer. Ameen. :)

Smile, thank you. :)

mom's words are like abah's words

Assalamu'alaikum wbt.

We were informed by Dr. Fariza that this week's class has been cancelled because she has something urgent coming up. So we don't have to walk to the class and got to do our assignments in our rooms. And we got time to relax also.

But, I am not so relax. Have to do assignments, but right now, I'm having problems to complete it and my laptop create its own problems too. Headache! Need some space. 

Fainted!

Hmm.. Seriously, every week got assignments, tasks, projects and the most thrilling part is quizzes. Hmm.. To be honest, I don't even know whether I have enough time or not to complete all these. I feel nervous, scared and worried just to think about it. Seriously. 

Scared.

"Don't worry. Just do it. Slowly." my Mom said. "You got Allah. He will fix everything for you. He will ease everything for you. Just pray for Him." 

Tears roll down my cheeks.

Oh mom, I don't even know how my life would be without you. How can I breathe smoothly without your words. :) You are the best gift from Allah. Abah too. Even he's not around us anymore. :)

Ya Rabb.. Please make ease everything for me. I'm not so bright in this. Please make everything easy for me. :')

As usual

Assalamu'alaikum wbt.

Hmm... On this week six, I went to class. As usual with my friends. We boarded the bus. The zone two bus, because that time only have that bus. Actually, I felt a little bit tired because I slept late last night and had to woke up early. So... my body felt tired and my eyes are like forcing me to go to sleep. Zzz.. But, when I boarded the bus, automatically, I felt fresh. Maybe because we have to rush to the bus to get a place to sit. Haha. 

Then we headed to computer laboratory as usual also. Nothing interesting. Even the vending machine failed to attract us with its beverages. I don't even know whether the vending machine got beverages or not. Haha. So we just go straight to our class.

Turn on the computer also as usual. Waiting for it to settle down. I play with my chair like a kid. It's so boring that day. I teased Becca, Veen and Lyn to lessen my boredom. I sang, I laugh for no reason. Haha. Quite crazy actually.

We waited for Dr Fariza, for almost 30 minutes, I think. She didn't show up. I told my friends that I thought this morning she will not attend to the class. It just a thought, so we just continued surfing the internet. One thing that I love computer in education class is you will have no problems when surfing the internet. The line is so fast. 

Then we waited for her while doing our assignments. Then suddenly, a woman showed up in front of our class saying that, our CE lecturer had something came up and couldn't attend to the class that morning. I think she is also a Computer in Education lecturer. Because, after she announced the news, she's kind a gave us a free advice about what is CE's all about. She reminded us to always update our reflections in Weebly. For a moment, I got freaked out because she said that our reflections actually got marks and our reflections do help us a lot in our final exams as credits. She also told us about our seniors' experiences. Some do not complete their reflections and took light of it, so they turned up failing in CE class and have to repeat the course again. 

To be honest, I am not planning to repeat this class again, but if I have to, it won't budge me at all because I find this class is the most relaxing class and the funniest class I've ever attend in UKM. But, I will try my best to not to repeat this class. So starting from that moment, I tried to finish up my reflections. Thanks Prof for the reminder. :) We thanked her for the info. 

At that moment, I started planning for my reflections and my assignments. I have to complete all of them as the time pass by real quick! Oh Allah, please ease everything for me. Ameen.

Assalamu'alaikum wbt. :) Good day peeps.

lms and cms??

Assalamu'alaikum wbt and hello everyone.

Another Computer in Education class. Time flew really fast. I don't even realize that it's already week three. Hmm. 

As usual, the CE class still is one of my favorite class. I learned new things about computers that all this time I don't really know that it exists. Haha. I need to explore more. AlhamduliLlah, I was given the opportunity to learn about computers in this subject.

Week Two. It's totally different than Week One. Fun, but still, it gives me a lot of pressures. Luckily, for this week, I got a ticket 'fly' to my hometown. Yohoo.

Ok, back to the topic. What I learned in week two in computer in education class is about Learning Management System (LMS) and Content Management System (CMS).

At first, I got confused about these two things. But with the guidance from Dr. Fariza and my friends, I got a clear picture of it. Err. Frankly speak, not a crystal clear one. But I understand a little bit.

Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of e-Learning education courses or training programs. Most of universities and any companies department use this to connect to their students and workers.

Using LMS, lecturers can post tasks or any documents and course materials to their students. They also can track and process students participation in a forum or discussions. It is very beneficial for a distance learning. By that, students can access into this application anywhere they go as long as they have internet connection. LMS also can track new participants and their involving in discussions. Students or workers who use LMS can always up to-dated about their tasks and new assignments and view their course materials such as, videos, presentations and PDF files. LMS also provides exercises prepared by the lecturers. By LMS also, students can connect and have an online chatting within their friends in a group. For an example, in UKM, we used smpweb and i-folio to connect authority with our lecturers and students.

As for Content Management System (CMS), according to my comprehension, it is a online applications where we can post our reading materials, entries for tasks or assignments, lectures power points and task or quizzes. Using CMS, lecturers are capable of knowing how their students present their answers in quizzes or in tasks given. CMS can be used by anyone even for a someone who do not have a high knowledge about IT. It's easy and fun. Examples of CMS are BlendSpace, and WordPress. Its contents or entries can be changed anytime by the owner. So, it's flexible.

It's kinda hard to differentiate about these two things. But I am sure sooner or later, I will understand this clearly.

Ok, that's about LMS and CMS. Then we were asked to log in to our google drive and explore more features in it. It's kinda exciting to explore something new. All this time, I never knew that Google Co. have this kind of application in theirs. In my opinion, Google Drive is a good tool and I think it will help me a lot in my assignments and it is easier for me to share my reports and points with my friends. It is an online application or tool that help us especially students and teachers. Often, we lose our pendrive or thumbdrive, but with the help of Google Drive, our work become easier and we don't have to bring along our pendrive. It's kinda a backup plan when we lose our drives. 

In addition, Google Drive is also a good tool because we can make online documents and presentations online! How awesome is that. I never thought and knew about it. It is very helpful for us as students.

What can I conclude is, Google is not just a searching engine, in fact it helps us more than just to find some information. So I love Google Drive!

Thank you and have a good day. :)
